Egypt is one of the oldest countries in the world. Located in northeast Africa, it has been around since about 3150 BC and is home to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only surviving ancient wonder.
But there's more to it. And there's one subreddit that wants you to go beyond the statues and tombs, showing all the things that tourism agencies tend to exclude from their promotionals.
Appropriately titled r/Egypt, this online community provides a deeper look into the country and its citizens. From a local Alexandria bird lover to a simple but very beautiful tree in Cairo, continue scrolling and check out some of its most popular posts.
However, 2022 should bring the inauguration of huge tourist and archaeological projects, such as the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the Mohamed Ali Pasha Palace in Shubra, and the Capitals Museum in the City of Arts and Culture in the New Administrative Capital, as well as the completion of the ‘Galala Project’, Al-Alamein City, and the ‘Great Transfiguration Project’ in St. Catherine.
Let's hope these initiatives together with r/Egypt will help the country to rebound!
